Abraham Lincoln quotes


Abraham Lincoln

“I am a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn’t have the heart to let him down…”

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

“Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up, and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable - a most sacred right - a right, which we hope and believe, is to liberate the world.”

“Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”

“God must love the common man, he made so many of them.”

In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.
